college food: nutella brownies

Can you really improve on the ease and tastiness of microwave brownies?

Yes, yes you can.

This, my friends is a Nutella brownie, made using that magical invention in my dorm room, the microwave. My roommates and I finally got some vanilla yogurt, so we were able to try the brownies out the way that they were intended. And then, because warm brownies aren't enough for us, we added dollops of Nutella that started out sitting pretty on top of the brownie mix but settled to the bottom while they were being nuked.

And oh my gosh, this was amazing. Warm, brownie, Nutella-y goodness. The only thing that would have made this even better is if it had been single serving so I could have eaten all of it in its most fudgey, immediately out of the microwave goodness.

Microwave Nutella Brownies

serves 4-6, all dependent on how much brownie each person wants

4 tbs microwave brownie mix
8 tbs vanilla yogurt
3 tbs Nutella


Combine the brownie mix and yogurt in a microwave safe bowl. Stir until well-mixed. Drop spoonfuls of Nutella on top until you're happy with all the amount of chocolate hazelnut goodness.

Microwave on high for 2 minutes. As a sidenote, if you wait for the to cool, like any smart cook will tell you, you can actually cut them. Or just use a spoon. Enjoy!
